I'm using TPLINK archer c7.
My laptop is on wifi adapter intel dual bandwireless ac7265.
However, it cannot detect the higher band 5g from wifi list.

Is there anything I can do to rectify this? My iPhone and iPad manage to connect to 5g band
I know the alternative is to get a wifi adapter but I pretty sure ac7265 can detect 5g

Yeah from the spec, your wifi card should be able to capture 5GHz network. Btw, your router 5GHz wifi set to run on N or AC or both?

Can you check:
> Open Network & Internet settings
> Change adapter options
> Right click on your Wifi adapters and click on properties
> Click configure
> On general tab check on device status whether any error message showing, if not continue
> Go to Advance tab
> Check your 802.11n/ac Wireless Mode setting whether it is disabled
> If all setting looks okay, try to update your wifi card driver
> Go to Driver tab > Update driver > Automatically (if you have internet connected) otherwise just update it manually

it is not disabled based on the setting - it is set to 802.11ac.
I have updated my wifi driver to latest one from Intel website - which is may 2018 one.
still 5g is not detected. think I have to get a wifi adapter
